Read an Excerpt

From Runaway: An Airhead Novel

To someone like Mariana — and the paparazzi outside — I must look like I have it all: The little white poodle, yawning delicately at my feet; the thick, luxurious blonde hair, which Mariana's just spent an hour flat-ironing; the boyfriend with the limitless credit card, who seems to care so much about me that he'll buy out the local woman's boutique in my size just because I said I have nothing to wear. He's currently pacing up and down the hallway outside my room, so eager is he for me to join him for dinner that he can hardly wait to escort me down to the sumptuously set modern steel-and-glass table. Little does Mariana know that none of it — the poodle, the hair, even the boyfriend — belongs to me.

From the Publisher

Gr 7 Up—In this final volume in the trilogy, Em Watts is being held captive by Brandon Stark, son of evil billionaire entrepreneur Robert Stark. Thanks to a forced brain transplant, the teen has been living in the body of superstar model Nikki Howard. Em manages to break out of Brandon's place and find her way back to NYC, but of course, it's impossible to hide when you're a world-famous celebrity. With the help of her tech-savvy friend, Felix, she uncovers Robert Stark's top-secret venture, Project Phoenix, and ultimately reveals it to the public. A bit slow-moving in the middle, the story really picks up as all the loose ends are tied up. Several romantic subplots with secondary characters provide humorous moments, as does the strong narrative voice. Despite its sci-fi premise, this is pure Cabot. At its essence are discussions of femininity and the premium that society places on beauty and youth, all wrapped up in a surface-level fluffy read full of brand-name-dropping and glamour.—Jennifer Barnes, formerly at Homewood Library, IL
